Mother may I, I would say

Yes sweet baby take it away

It won't be long

Just remember that

Powerful is the woman in you

stay true

& she'd come to me

when fire & water was gone

to caress the empty with a song

Saying why cry for anger

that bullets the sky

just remember

I'll remember & mama

I'll get by

I know my face

seems crazed & wild

but I got her eyes

a mama's child am I

She's blessed with grace

& is smooth as a line

& when I shade

she helps me shine

& she comes to me

when there's nothing

I believe & holds me so high

yes I am free

saying why hold the anger

it won't let you fly

just remember

I'll remember

& mama mama I'll get by

Confused by my own illusions

she said that it's only my pride

& even the simplest solutions

still won't heal my mind

So I'll remember

I'll remember

& I'll get by
